In his bid to trash out corruption from the force, the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase said under his leadership Nigeria Police has fought corruption to the barest minimum, and in the process about 50 police officers caught in corrupt practices and misconduct have been dismissed.
Speaking at the end of year IG Conference, Arase said, “Between May and November, 2015, the anti-corruption enforcement architecture emplaced by the Force leadership has led to the dismissal of a total of 50 personnel for proven corrupt practices while another 56 have been awarded various punishments.
“The IGP Monitoring Unit, X-Squad and the Provost Marshal have been charged to sustain the enforcement drive in the upcoming year while the policy of holding Commissioners of Police, Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers, vicariously liable for such distasteful professional misconduct will also be reinforced.”.
